When the lights go out the co2 goes out and the temperature drops to 69-72F in my op.

We have don't have a problem with lower humidity and closing stomata. Not that I have an electron microscope to see then but 40-50% humidity is no problem at all. Most likely because we are in dwc so there certainly is no shortage of water to drink. It actually allows us to run lower nutrient concentrations because peak flower phase they are drinking around 3-4 gallons a day. On 20 plants and a full 225 gallon rez on Friday will have about 100 gallons on monday morning.

No matter what you do, if you scale up you will find that the addition of CO2 is responsible for anywhere from 30% to over 120% increase in plant weights at harvest. It all depends on how much you use and if your room is tight enough to keep the CO2 level at the canopy. Then you have to exchange air. So really its all about money and mass quantities of food grade CO2.
I must have CO2. Even if it is a 15 minute a day soak with a pierced aquarium line draped around the canopies. (See: 2L bottle, Airline Tubing, Sugar, and Yeast) It would be silly to not recommend its use.

food grade co2? I think you need medical grade co2 and that is absolutely a massive waste of money. Plants certainly don't get medical grade co2 outdoors. far from it.

Lmao, yeah, we do a big time flush at the end. We even wear scuba gear when harvesting so nobody breathes on the plants.

No sweat. Seemed to be sooo much confusion about co2 enrichment just tried to reduce the amount if silly co2 questions.
Co2 is banging when you use it correctly. How effective are bags of compost, etc?? Who knows. I doubt very effective at all really as my plants absolutely MUNCH down the co2. You would be shocked at how much co2 big plants..and allot of them, actually consume.
Veg room has 60 plants in it right now, about 4 feet tall each. Totally sealed mini splits, 18k watts of light, the burner turns on about every 10 minutes to keep it above 1450.
